Aldermanic Runoffs
Tomorrow is also the Aldermanic run-off elections. If you’re in the 2nd, 3rd, 15th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 32nd, 35th, 43rd, 49th, or 50th Ward*, you’re voting between the top-two vote getters from the February 27 election when no candidate got 50% of the vote. (Makes sense?) You don’t need to have voted in that election to vote in this one (though you do, of course, need to be a registered voter in that Ward).
Some resources for knowing your candidates:
Aldertrack
Chicago Reader – Aldermania: The Final Round
Chicago Sun-Times – Endorsements
Chicago Tribune – Endorsements
Gapers Block – Down and Down in the 32nd Ward, and the Rest of the Races
After the jump, your Aldermanic candidates (* indicated incumbent):
* If you’re not sure which Ward you live in, or where to vote, you can find out on the Chicago Election Board site.
